Hello Head-Fi'ers,   I have been lurking around here during recent weeks after stumbling upon this website. I recently purchased my first pairs of higher end headphones, after using a pair of cheap $30ish Sony MDR-V150's for several years.   After a lot of research and reading on these...

I am pleased with my M50, but I am curious about the 900.  Can anyone who has heard both give me a comparison?  There is a significant price difference between the 2.  I am wondering if the pro 900 is worth it over the M50.  I listen to mainly tech house, progressive music.  Thanks.

Now I have my entry level rig and a reasonable set of IEM's I'm after a set of full size cans but living where I do I am unable to audition them but after reading a few threads here I have come up with a choice of 3.   I listen to most genres with the exception of classical and hip hop.  ...

I've had my Sennheiser HD428's for a while and I think the SQ on them is pretty good, I modded them for more bass and they sound pretty damn good to me. I listen to mostly dubstep, DnB, and rap, some alternative, pretty much a little of everything. Just yesterday I ordered a pair of Superlux...

 

Hey whats up guys.. Been lurking this forum for some time now and finally decided to join. Im a hobbiest producer mainly interested in dubstep but i also get down with any electronic dance music, hip hop, raggae, and others. I have a pair of sennheiser HD280 Pros and i do like them but they...

I just got my payment and I want REALLY good headphones for under $300. Too be honest I don't know much about audio so I came here. I listen to dubstep/drum & bass. I want something that has good noise cancellation well. I was looking at the Bose QC15's but I am not sure if they are good in...

Looking to grab some headphones for my father.  His ancient AKG's have finally given up.  He doesn't amp his headphones, so I want to get him something that will still sound decent if he's listening to his ipod directly.  Thats the main reason I'm making a thread, I've found it somewhat...

I have recently decided to purchase the Ultrasone DJ1 headphones, and I was wondering if it is rather dumb of me to purchase them for normal use, instead of dj'ing. I was going to by the Sony mdr-v700dj headphones, until I looked at reviews and saw hat hey break quite easily. So, is it dumb of...

I'm trying to decide between these two, and, strangely enough, I can't seem to find any full-featured comparisons! They're in the same relative price range, and are both known for detailed bass, so I'm surprised that I can't find anything. Maybe my searching skills are bad?   Does anybody...

Okay, I just got a good amount of money, so of course I'll get some great headphones that I could never afford before, and I found the Ultrasone Pro750s and I thought that I would get those, but I just discovered the Dj1 pros and both seemed to get good reviews. I found the dj1s at about $150...

Hi I am currently looking for a durable closed headset preferably with a straight cable and circumaural ears.  I wish to use them for gaming, metal and some techno music.  So far I have found the beyerdynamic dt250 and shure 840 models.  Any suggestions?

Hey, first off this post is all over the place so I had no idea what forum it belongs to so please move it if it needs moving. This is my first post on head-fi , I have been lurking on and off for a while starting back when I bought my ad700’s about 2 years ago through recommendations here. Now...

Note: I also posted this in the "Buying headphones?" thread but I got no replies so, I'm attempting a new thread. Sorry if this is not allowed.   Hi there. I'm looking to improve my personal hearing equipment. I have read a lot of the threads around this forum but, I would like direct...

Hi all,   I've been reading the site for a little and want to get myself a better setup than just my phone and cheap headphones.   First off I want to start that I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 on Verizon for my portable music listening. Also, pretty much all music listening.  I'm using...

Hi Everyone,   I am doing a dissertation on virtual headphone listening test methodologies so I'm looking to add to my collection. For "testing purposes"of course.   I'm only going to be testing over ear, sealed headphones.   My current collection isn't vast but i have the Sennheiser...

i would like to find a pair of headphones that will pump out some good bass without sacrificing sound quality, i have a pair of ath-w1000s (paired with a sugden headmaster and sugden cdmaster), which, sound absolutely fantastic, the headphones just lack that extra thump when playing songs with...

i'm planning to get a closed set of cans with better bass than the dt990s, so i've set my eyes on the pl750. i'm wondering though, do these cans distort at high listening volumes with bassy songs? i feel if the volume is bearable, no audiophile headphone should distort. but, having said that...

Hi there Head-Fi :).   This may seem like a question that's been asked a few times before (I've been searching for days and come across a few threads) - but mine is a little different. But first, for anyone who stumbles across this thread by searching for the same general comparison, I found...

I'll start out by saying I'm somewhat of a Basshead. These Denon D7000s were my first high end headphone. Some people don't see them as worthy among the other 'flagships', but I think that's completely unfair. They're extremely fun, and more than hold their own amongst the big boys. ~ This...

I currently have the HD 598 for at home. SW-Xcape and Ultrasone Pro 650 for portable usage. I was thinking of stepping it up a notch. I wanted to know what headphone I can get now, sources are ipod touch/with e7 . MAYBE getting the J3 soon. laptop with e7 and e9. Music electronic, dubstep,All...

Hi! I read so many threads (more than 4 hours of reading) about this 2 headphones to get an headache! I'm ready to buy and I want to do the right choice for my use. Some people say "boomy" bass for the HFI-780 and "textured" bass for the PRO 750. But the real question is about the new...

I have been struggling to find the right headphone for over a year. Last year i settled on the ATH-ES7 as users said it would be good for my music taste (mainly electro-house with female vocals and a bit of dubstep and hip hop). However, I wasn't convinced by their looks...loads think they look...

I have a pair coming in and I was wondering if anyone had any tips - ie. new pads, replacing headband, etc.? thanks for any advice! :)
